Howdy Ausfishers, Caught this unusual looking specimen at Green Yesterday.
Any idea,s of the name?
Looks like a juvenile LION FISH to me.
Released after a quick photo.

called a bearded ghoul, have to watch those spines as they do stingy but not as bad as a stone fish.

Thanks for the Id Brian,
I never handle a fish i'm not familiar with except with a pair of longnose pliers.
Just curious to know what we have in our bay and this info could help someone in the future.
BEWARE THE UGLY BEARDED GHOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bearded Ghoul/Red Rock Cod.Like Webby said,don't touch the end of those spines or you'll know about it.Cut the head of and then cut the fillets off.Beautiful to eat.The old Red rock cod used to be sold many years ago as Lobster in Sydney restaurants as the fillet is thich to the head a tapers down to the tail.Don't let the looks put you off.

Has anyone asked how you caught it Brent? If I caught that at night I think I would get the creeps and head for home, thinking there might be bigger ones.:-/
